This picture-perfect barn conversion is located on one of the UK’s top salmon rivers, the Nith and is an excellent base for a family get-together in the wilds of Scotland alongside one or two faithful companions. Discover the many trails and cycle routes nearby, explore charming towns and villages or sit back in relax, taking in the beautiful surroundings whilst watching the salmon leap.
This delightful stone-built barn conversion is full of charm and character, with thick stone walls and cosy contemporary interiors. The good-sized open-plan living space is bright and breezy thanks to an overhead skylight and double glass doors opening to the garden. Two plush sofas await tired legs in the lounge area and choose to dine at either the kitchen's breakfast bar or the dining table. Alternatively, meal times can be enjoyed overlooking the river from the comfort of the communal garden's delightful picnic bench. When it's time for bed, two attractive bedrooms await where a good night's sleep will be had by all, accompanied by the babbling sounds of the rushing river.
Head into Sanquhar, which has a great range of amenities, including a café, pub, bakery, golf club, park and picnic area. Hounds of an artistic nature will love Crawick Multiverse (1.5 miles), a fantastic land art installation designed by Charles Jencks, where dogs on leads are welcome to join you roaming the sculpted hills and pathways that make up this epic project. Four-legged friends will also enjoy a visit to Drumlanrig Castle & Gardens (10.5 miles) with acres of stunning Victorian gardens that are full of interesting sights and smells. Hop onboard a historic diesel locomotive at The Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway, where canine companions can join you in taking a journey back in time along a 3/4 mile of track through the Lowther Hills.
